President Trump Tells Everyone to “Buy Dell!” After Bagging Millions in Stock Gains

Alright, gamers, ever been in the market for a new PC or laptop? It’s a big decision, right? You research specs, compare brands, maybe even ask for recommendations from your favorite tech gurus. Well, what if the recommendation came from the President of the United States, especially one who recently invested millions in that very company?

That’s exactly the interesting situation we’ve seen unfolding with President Donald Trump and Dell. Not once, but twice recently, President Trump has publicly urged people to “go out and buy a Dell computer,” even mentioning his son loves their laptops. Sounds like a pretty direct endorsement, doesn’t it?

Here’s where it gets even more interesting: before his initial public shout-out for Dell back in early May, President Trump had already filed that he personally purchased a significant chunk of Dell stock – somewhere between $1 (approx. Rs 280) million and $5 (approx. Rs 1,390) million, to be exact. This investment was made on February 10, 2026. Talk about a well-timed move! This also came after Michael and Susan Dell, the founders, donated a hefty $6 (approx. Rs 1,670) billion to ‘Trump Accounts’ aimed at helping children.

And the connections don’t stop there. Shortly after President Trump’s investment and initial endorsement, the US War Department reportedly signed a massive $9.7 (approx. Rs 2,700) billion deal with Dell. So, we’re looking at a private investment, a huge donation, a public endorsement, and then a gigantic government contract, all happening in a relatively short span.

Now, let’s talk numbers because this is where it really shows the impact. When President Trump invested on February 10, 2026, Dell stock was hovering around $126 (approx. Rs 35,030) per share. Fast forward to the time of writing, and that same stock is sitting at a cool $415 (approx. Rs 115,370) per share. It even hit a peak of $465 (approx. Rs 129,270) per share on June 1, 2026! That means anyone who bought in when Trump did would have seen their investment nearly triple. Imagine those gains!

During one of his recent press conferences, after urging folks to buy Dell, President Trump even pointed at Michael Dell and playfully (or perhaps not so playfully) quipped, “We’re gonna get him that money back one way or the other. And then I’ll ask for another $6.25 (approx. Rs 1,740) billion.” While he did clarify that he believes Michael Dell’s donation wasn’t for product advocacy, the sequence of events certainly makes you raise an eyebrow.

This pattern isn’t exclusive to Dell either. President Trump also reportedly invested similar amounts into other tech giants like Nvidia and Apple, both of whom he has spoken favorably about this year. Intel also saw investments from him, received government support, and even had a recent deal with Apple announced by President Trump himself. It really highlights the immense influence a figure like the President can have, whether directly intended or not, on the market and specific companies, especially those they’ve invested in.

It definitely makes you wonder about the lines between personal investment, public office, and corporate endorsements. What do you guys think?
